Three months had passed since the last encounter with the Soulbone Daoist.
Now, Ye Kai had already brought the Three Great Primordial Spirit True Lords and their subordinates to Great Wilderness Island, specifically to the Lingyun Mountain Range.
They had gathered the Aerial Battleship and set up thousands of Multifunctional Detectors, ensuring that he could keep track of all significant events happening on Great Wilderness Island at any moment.
In a moment, amidst the vast mountain range, a solitary peak towered above the others, piercing through the Sea of Clouds, with Cloud Qi swirling around it, exuding an extraordinary aura.
Ye Kai took a deep breath and sent out a message through the Multifunctional Detector, informing Gongyang Zhenjun and the others: "Come to Lingyun Peak."
With a flash of Dual Polarity Magnetic Divine Light, he plunged into the Sea of Clouds, parting the layers of mist.
Although he had anticipated that entering the Celestial Mountain Estate ahead of time would be difficult, when the white expanse of Cloud Qi suddenly vanished before him, Ye Kai felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
In the blink of an eye, clarity emerged before him; Lingyun Peak's summit rose significantly above the Sea of Clouds, indeed appearing exceptional and notorious.
However, at this moment, his brows furrowed tightly.
He looked up and scanned the sky above Lingyun Peak, which was completely empty.
Ye Kai summoned WIKI and deployed several flying devices to remain vigilant while accumulating energy.
WIKI, having followed him for quite some time, understood Ye Kai's intentions immediately and began preparations: "Your Highness, the projection of the Celestial Mountain Estate is usually invisible. It only manifests under specific circumstances; otherwise, it would have been discovered long ago when it emerged from the Void Turbulence."
Ye Kai nodded but did not speak.
A moment later, three streaks of light flew in from afar, each coming from a different direction. They were Gongyang Zhenjun, She Yuanjun, and Hu Qianfang—the three Primordial Spirit True Monarchs.
They went out to gather information. Although it was not as comprehensive as the Multifunctional Detector, the internal news, especially certain specific pieces of information, was far superior to what the Multifunctional Detector could provide.
"Your Excellency, according to the rumors, the Celestial Mountain Estate is expected to reappear in about six months," Gongyang Zhenjun was the first to speak.
"Indeed, Subordinate has also obtained this information."
She Yuanjun bowed respectfully and said, "Your Excellency, all factions have begun to prepare for action. If it weren't for the intervention of a dozen superpowers suppressing them, the Boundless Sea would have already descended into chaos."
"I have received news from the Tiger Shark Clan that Bone Gate and Great Wilderness Sword Sect have joined forces, along with Luo Fu Zhen Jun from Floating Island. They have now broken through their final shackles and achieved the status of Daoist Master."
Hu Qianfang's face was serious, mixed with a hint of surprise and envy.
"Understood. Everyone prepare; we will go take a look ourselves," Ye Kai said, his eyes flashing with determination.
As soon as he finished speaking, beams of light shot toward Lingyun Peak's summit, yet it seemed they struck nothing at all.
After a moment, Ye Kai led Gongyang Zhenjun and the others upward for several thousand meters. Just as they were about to ascend further, the void before them suddenly twisted, and large swathes of Misty Vapor appeared.
Ye Kai was startled and retreated slightly. The mist quickly vanished. When he approached again, the Misty Vapor reappeared. Understanding dawned on him; after several tests, they flew upward again to where the Misty Vapor had first appeared.
Sure enough, the space shimmered like rippling water as the Misty Vapor emerged once more.
Gongyang Zhenjun and the others followed closely behind. Gongyang Zhenjun looked up with a puzzled expression and asked, "Your Excellency, how does this differ from what Subordinate knows about the Celestial Mountain Estate? What is it?"
Ye Kai stared at what seemed to be an empty space for a moment before gently raising his right hand. He clenched his fist and shook it; dozens of streams of light erupted from his arm like blades in the air.
The air immediately began to vibrate violently like boiling water.
White Misty Vapor spread out in waves, continuously expanding in all directions like ocean waves.
The entire expanse was dyed a sacred white.
The three of them were dumbfounded, even Ye Kai stared blankly at the scene before him.
In the sky appeared a vast expanse of white, a Sacred Sea of Clouds, stretching for hundreds of thousands of acres, shrouded in mist and steam, creating a magnificent sight.
However, at the center of the white Sea of Clouds was not a towering mountain like Jade Mountain, but merely a faintly visible winding stone staircase. The only thing that could be sensed from it was an overwhelming amount of Spiritual Energy.
This was still due to the Spiritual Energy being blocked and contained; otherwise, it would be evident even to the naked eye.
If it were to fully activate, the terrifying power would be unimaginable.
Like a mirage, within the white Misty Vapor, treasures, towers, sweet rain, star rivers, long halberds, precious swords, and screens would occasionally materialize—an endless array of light and shadow, each more spectacular than the last.
Numerous Transformations surged within the sacred white Cloud Qi, resembling Ye Kai's White Jade Fairy.
At that Jade Mountain, flowing springs and cascading waterfalls mingled with fragrant orchids and elegant trees, like a dream.
Yet here, as Azure Blue Beams bombarded once again, boundless gusts of wind and rolling thunderclouds lay prostrate beneath it, forming the steps and guardians of Celestial Mountain Estate, all together protecting this seemingly innate paradise!
Ye Kai took a deep breath: "That is Celestial Mountain Estate..."
Finally, Celestial Mountain Estate appeared before him. However, the entire fairy mountain was enveloped in upgraded white mist. If they wanted to break through the outer confinement barrier or something similar, they could only wait for an opportunity or resort to brute force.
This was very much akin to a 'game super unlock code.'
As long as certain conditions were met, one could pass through easily. Yet at this moment, not only was it not easy to pass through; even Ye Kai, who possessed two fairy mountains, had little confidence in entering this one.
It was utterly perplexing.
If the Celestial Mountain Estate were so easy to obtain, powerful factions would have already emerged from their hiding.
But now, they all remained firmly seated, while he, Ye Kai, embarked on a new exploration that fused technology with the realms of immortals and demons.
At first glance, the scene here was grand; even Ye Kai felt that their actions might be a bit too audacious.
"Your Excellency, we must be the first to enter this place and take control as much as possible. Otherwise, once other factions discover our secret, everything will be over."
Gongyang Zhenjun stared intently at the Celestial Mountain Estate, which was faintly visible through the white Misty Vapor above, murmuring to himself.
"Indeed, information about this Celestial Mountain Estate has been known since ancient times. Even if we all self-destruct, we cannot stop the multitude of cultivators and powerful factions that will soon swarm in."
She Yuanjun came back to his senses and exclaimed excitedly, "We are already one step ahead of all the factions. We must continue to push forward; it would be too regrettable to hand over such a wonderful place!"
Hu Qianfang swallowed hard and remained silent.
Ye Kai felt equally exhilarated and took a deep breath. "Upper Jade Capital, Twelve Towers and Five Cities... this is truly a paradise on earth!"
"This place is mine for the taking."
